Mysterious gap between before content

  • Hi,

    I’m trying to set up a shop using WP E-commerce and the “Andyblue” theme.

    On my site https://onetopsoccer.com/blog/?page_id=3 you can see that there is a large space between the menu and the grid content below. This can also be seen if you add an item to the cart and go to the Checkout page.

    I’ve found that this gap doesn’t appear when I use a different theme, but I’ve already modified the Andyblue theme heavily and I plan to use it.

    I’ve found that on a single item page such as this one: https://onetopsoccer.com/blog/?page_id=3&category=1&product_id=1 the gap doesn’t appear, but I can reproduce it by removing the overflow:auto; line from my CSS.

    #products_page_container {
    height: 100%;
    overflow: auto;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

    Would anyone be able to identify why this is happening? I’ve been messing around with the CSS for days on end without any progress.

    Thanks in advance.

  • your <div class=”navboxwrapright”> is doing this. IMHO you should make this float part of your <div class=”main”>

    I had a play with the page and it just doesn’t seem to be behaving as it should, then that’s typical of a page with invalid markup…

    Validation errors.

    Work through the those and you may find the elements start behaving themselves..

    That would be where i start anyway…

    Darn… why didn’t I think of this… maybe it’s my believe that everyone writes good code ??

    Well, noone’s perfect, we all do our best to make things work the way we want them.

    I’m not saying that everyone needs to code perfectly, but validation is usually a good area to start when elements start acting strange or not how you’d expect them to.

    You have to start somewhere… ??

    Thanks for the feedback guys.

    I had a look at the validation errors, and wow, that’s a lot.

    The weird thing, though, is that I reverted back to the default Andyblue theme before I posted this thread, since the original theme was exhibiting the same behaviour despite not being modified.

    So am I to think that there are errors with the original theme? ??
